   I’m a fan of the Big Mac Index for tracking inflation in the last 60 years. As you are doubtless aware, it’s very hard to peg inflation prices over long periods because there are not really comparable market baskets of goods and services to track. Even recently, if I bought a house 30 years ago, my housing cost hasn’t really changed during that time. But if I try to buy that same house now…wow, it suddenly inflated a whole lot.

   You probably, like me, remember the days of 16% inflation.

   Anyway, that’s why I was pegging to something Skippy would recognize with the worth of his dime.
